great tip denning, topfluc about $51, hope you chucked on a few dollars!


hat, owner greed has stuffed up London. Instead of racing through the classes where he was eligible for Rating Bands less than 86 or so, they jumped him in open class. He won in at first attempt. Great. But his Handicapper Rating then jumped about 20 points, making him ineligible to race in those 40-50k (R86 or less) races for a while. Even worse, after yesterdays poor run the Rating won't drop

yeah..corporate sam a great hit..denning..like schonegg said..hope you had some..

Nice looking programme coming up for Ascot this Saturday. Including the Listed Jungle Mist Classic (1200m), Group III Colonel Reeves Stakes (1100m), Group III R.J. Peters Stakes (1500m) & the Group II WA Guineas (1600m).

Gee! my post just dissappreaed so here is the final try: I notice that you blokes on this thread are way ahead of my thoughts but, I am here in WA and I notice certain things so here we go:

I notice that whenever "Darren Macauley" ignores an obvious chance .....say like "Highest Honour" today (his radio tips not in first 4 HUH!)

Then very often it is the winner......... makes you think!

hey party, agree with ya, maybe he doesn't study form. I think he has the best voice in Australia, but his accuracy and reading of the race is often disappointing, and calling a photo finish correctly has been his achiiles heel.

Many examples, but one just yesterday. Not sure if you saw/heard r2 won by Scary Movie. He concentrated on Bizet winning the race up until a few strides before the line, when he suddenly mentioned the 2 horses which were stalking the leaders throughout and were real chances for most of the straight.

Anyway the carnival is hotting up on Saturday, will check in with a few tips before then.

geraldton..

r1..consultation
r2..mystery city
r3..big jaw macgraw
r5..temple church

G'day schonegg, yes I agree with all that you say here, in fact I have been on the recieving end of a falsly called winner that was 2nd..... grrrr most annoying, but my main concern that the example that I sited is NOT alone I've noticed it many times, and like,........ I wonder was Mr McCauley actually "on" Highest Honour" ?????? I suspect so...............

Yep & yep! And a little tomorrow as well.

R1 - Tricky race, maybe Trustee Brown eachway. Raced forward at first start, some speedsters drawn inside it though.

R2 - Kim Trader at 3.1 is too short, have a break.

R3 - Too many queries. For Trifectas/First4s include Xaar Boom.

R4 - Early speed drawn in and out suits the stalkers Shock Value/Moonlight Drive.

R5 - Unbeaten Hay List going for 9 straight, and finds extra when challenged, but even factoring in improvement my odds are about 3.25 whereas fixed 1.75, pass, but hope it wins. Dante's Volonte reportedly back to near best, and loves Ascot. Revolition is a must lead type, so early pace will be interesting. Apparently screws tightened on Ma Ma Machine after last start's below par effort.

R6 - Grand Nirvana has been disappointing and drawn awkwardly, but blinkers on today, last chance. Elliotto a distance risk, but powered home at 1400m last start.

R7(WA Guineas) - The Corporation will get gun run, by Helenus so 1600m is perfect. Thorn Dancer has been backed for a stack now into 4.1, but will get back and could be wide for most of the race, and very wide home turn.

R8 - Golden Business eachway should give great sight. Almohad is promising but odds 3.0 is too short.

nice hit r1..schonegg..
r2..yep kt very short..smart chance / gum nut guru..might place..
